519 - Super Tuesday (reds and blues day)

It’s Super Tuesday 2008:
McCain / Romney, and Clinton / Obama.
McCain will win; the other two we’ll wait
And see. Neither are an obvious winner.
There’s Hillary, memories of Monica
And Bill, who, if she wins, and wins again,
Will be the White House’s longest dweller.
The other fella, Barack, might complain
That because he’s black, he’s running in vain:
No matter what he says, it’s not his fate
To win, but simply to lose with honour.
He’d need to be great to beat John McCain;
More difficult than when Kennedy beat
Nixon in ’60. It makes great drama.
